| Jan 9, 2018 at 14:53 | comment | added | indigochild | @reirab - I am not disputing that it does or does not work that way. The point is that it should be backed up. | |
| Jan 9, 2018 at 13:26 | comment | added | reirab | @indigochild The U.S. visa waiver program certainly does work that way. A country's eligibility for the U.S. VWP is based on the percentage of rejected visa applications from that country. That said, Mauritius does not qualify for the U.S. VWP. | |

| Jan 8, 2018 at 14:04 | comment | added | indigochild | Can this answer be backed up? Who says that visa systems work this way, or that Mauritians represents a low-risk of overstaying? | |
| Jan 8, 2018 at 13:20 | comment | added | Stian | 1 additional point: Geography. It is an isolated island. | |
| Jan 8, 2018 at 8:40 | comment | added | user15413 | Two additional points: 1) Mauritius is a small country (population ~1M, not all of which are citizens or can even have a Mauritius passport) thus further lowering the risks. Had it 1.5 billion inhabitants, even with the same GDP per capita, the same stability and the same economy, I doubt it would enjoy such favourable visa requirements. 2) Mauritius is a very popular tourist destination, so it does have a certain amount of bargaining power, though of course much lower than the one of EU or let’s say Canada, etc. | |
